Fiat Brava

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Early ones for less than £2000 can't be bad value (written October 2003).

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Stick to pattern parts. Fiat expensive. Reasonably economical.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The ride is fairly stiff. Good on A-Roads and motorways, but can get unsettled on rough roads in town.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    As indifferent as you would expect a 1.4 to be.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Broke down once in 2 years. Minor repairs only.

    Bravo looks better than a Brava. Good from the back.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I could hop out of it after 400 miles still feeling fairly fresh.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Never been stolen or broken into.
